On March 14, 2025, EU member states unanimously decided to extend sanctions on over 2,400 individuals and entities linked to Russia's ongoing aggression in Ukraine. This move, backed by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, signals continued solidarity with Ukraine amidst escalating military actions. The decision faced a slight delay due to Hungary, which is known for its closer ties to Russia. Hungary consented to the sanctions after negotiating the removal of four individuals from the sanctions list, allowing the EU to proceed with its measures.
"The European Union member states agreed to extend sanctions against more than 2,400 individuals and entities over Russia's war on Ukraine, reaffirming their support for Ukraine."
"EU Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen stated, 'Our determination to support Ukraine is crucial,' emphasizing the significance of unity in the face of Russian aggression."
